Missouri: Firearms Preemption Bill Passes House Committee

Wednesday, May 7, 2025

Yesterday, May 6th, the House General Laws Committee passed House Bill 726, strengthening firearms preemption laws, by a vote of 7-1. It will now advance to the House floor for consideration, where it has yet to be scheduled.

Please contact your Representative by using the TAKE ACTION button below and urge them to SUPPORT HB 726.

House Bill 726, the House equivalent of Senate Bill 74, repeals the exception for localities to regulate open carry, and creates fines for localities that violate statewide preemption laws. Attorney General Andrew Bailey has taken action against localities violating statewide preemption previously, and this bill ensures that those who violate statewide preemption will face strict consequences.

Please stay tuned to the NRA-ILA website and your inbox for future updates as the session progresses.
